Differences between Paraphrasing, Summarizing and Quoting:
Paraphrasing:
o It’s a very detailed description of what is stated in a text but in your own words, it’s usually of the same length or more than the original text.
Summarizing:
o Summarizing is a very condensed version of the original, almost like paraphrasing but way more condensed and less detailed, it just explains the main ideas
Quoting:
o When you quote you are copying the exact same text that the author used, also in this case you have to site using the APA style to prevent plagiarism.
Similarities:
SIMILARITIES: All show information, both paraphrasing and summarizing use your own words, Paraphrase & Summary: about same length of the original, sentence structure and order of ideas can be changed. ALL: all of them need to be referenced and cited (bibliography)
